How to Create Your Own Certificate and Certify Your Symbian App. for Nokia S60 3rd Edition

To be able to install your application to the device with S60 3rd edition (I think it will be same to UIQ3 but I don’t have a UIQ3 phone to verify it), you don’t have to apply for a developer’s certificate to sign your sis file. The application signed with your own certificate can be installed to the device with S60 3rd edition which based Symbian 9.x. The sample code helloworldbasic_myCert.zip is a simple modification to the helloworldbasic from S60 3rd Edition SDK. To be able to change SID easily, I introduced a helloUID.h and define the constant of SID there. Once your application is mature and being tested widely and ready to sign as a formal product, you just change you SID (issued by Symbian) in the helloUID.h and yourApp.pkg file (which I haven’t found a way to use one source infomation) and your application ready to go.
